Theunis de Bruyn has announced his retirement from international cricket in a statement on the Titans website.

“I’ve been fortunate to represent my country at the highest level of cricket and that’s been the proudest moment of my career. The bonds I’ve formed, lessons I’ve learnt, skills I’ve developed and my growth as a human being would not have been possible without the experience of playing international cricket.

I’ve lived a childhood dream, shared dressing rooms with my hero’s and played cricket at some of the world’s most iconic venues; and I can’t say thank you enough for the opportunities I’ve got through this game.

Looking back at everything that I’ve achieved, it is time I say goodbye to international cricket and focus on the next chapter.

I’m excited for what the future has to offer and looking forward to chasing more dreams and ambitions in life.

Thank you to everyone that’s been involved throughout my journey and best wishes to the Proteas and Cricket South Africa for what lies ahead!”
